An acupressurist works with special body points called acupoints positioned on energy lines called meridians. These healing sites are stimulated with varying and specialised finger pressure techniques. This is a personalised and adaptive therapy that gently unblocks the body’s energy pathways to enable healing without manipulation or deep pressure.
Acupressure aids elimination of stress, pain and alleviates symptoms of both acute and chronic conditions such as digestive issues, respiratory problems, low immunity, fatigue, tension, pain, anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed and low esteem. By stimulating the body’s natural curative abilities, acupressure also works as a powerful preventative therapy and is a safe and effective complement to conventional healing methods.
The gentle Jin Shin acupressure styles used in the practice evolved in the early 20th century and their origins can be traced back over 5000 years in Asia. My extensive experience over the years ensures the most appropriate application of acupressure, maximising potential outcomes. Acupressure is suitable for all age groups and a wide range of conditions including those where there is no discernible western diagnosis.
Acupuncture is essentially the same as acupressure except that the points are stimulated by very fine needles instead of the fingers. Acupuncture can help a very wide ranges of conditions. It is most commonly known as effective for relieving pain such as that from headaches, migraines, back tension, frozen shoulder and arthritis. It helps to reduce or extinguish symptoms and speed up recovery from injury, surgery and chronic illness.
In addition to full body acupuncture, I offer specialist areas of scalp which has been successful for neurological complaints and ear seed application which can be used to treat all areas of the body. The latter is perfect for combining in a session with acupressure.
This uses small cups on the skin to create suction, improving overall blood flow and promoting cell repair. Beneficial for conditions including muscle tension, skin issues, low energy, restlessness, hyperactivitiy and detoxification.
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of waste, toxins and other unwanted materials. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a highly specialised massage therapy. The technique involves using light, rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph fluid flow. This improves the efficiency of the lymphatic system, helping to clear blockages, eliminate cell waste and toxins, transport nutrients to cells and increase the efficiency of your metabolism. This is particularly relevant in today’s environment where pollution, stress and deficient immune systems make people more susceptible to illness.
